Safety Without Compromise

At Upstate Architectural Solutions, we believe that rigorous fire safety shouldn't limit your design vision. Our line of Fire Curtains offers the perfect balance of form and function. Unlike traditional heavy steel doors, our fire curtains are virtually invisible when retracted, integrating discreetly into ceilings and headers until the moment they are needed.

Fire curtains are fire-rated, automatic-deploying barriers made from flexible, heat-resistant fabric that prevent flames and smoke from spreading. Engineered for safety without affecting aesthetics, they activate instantly during emergencies to compartmentalize open spaces and protect escape routes.

Technical Specifications & Compliance

Our fire curtain systems are rigorous in their standards, ensuring your facility meets all local and national safety codes.

Top-Tier Standards: Fully compliant with UL 10D (Fire Protective Curtains) and UL 1784 (Air Leakage Tests for Door Assemblies).
Code Adherence: Meets rigorous NFPA 80 and IBC (International Building Code) standards.
High Endurance: Capable of providing up to 3 hours of fire protection, giving occupants valuable time to evacuate and first responders time to act.
Smart Integration: Seamlessly interfaces with existing building fire alarm systems for instant, fail-safe deployment.

Our Fire Curtain Solutions

We offer a versatile range of configurations to suit the unique layout

of your commercial, industrial, or educational facility.

Vertical Fire & Smoke Curtains (Model FA & SD)

The standard for protecting open concept designs. These flexible barriers deploy vertically to seal off atriums, stairwells, and large openings.

Best for: Atriums, corridors, and open-plan offices.
Rating: UL 10D, 1-3 Hour Protection.

Elevator Smoke Containment (Model SD, ESC & GX)

Eliminate the need for enclosed elevator lobbies. These curtains deploy directly over elevator doors to prevent the shaft from acting as a chimney for smoke.

Best for: Hotels, high-rise office buildings, and hospitals.
Compliance: Meets IBC §3006.2 for hoistway protection.

Horizontal Fire Curtains (Model H & HC)

A unique solution for sealing ceiling openings and skylights, preventing fire from traveling between floors through horizontal voids.

Best for: Escalators, skylights, and floor voids.

Perimeter Curtains (Model S)

Designed to create a fire-rated enclosure without the need for corner posts. These accordion-style curtains can navigate curves and corners to seal off specific zones.

Best for: Reception desks, open staircases, and specialized retail zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Do fire curtains block smoke as well as fire ?

Yes. Many of our models, such as the Fire Rated Smoke Curtain SD, are specifically tested to UL 1784 standards to restrict the movement of smoke, which is often more dangerous than the fire itself.

Question 2: Can these curtains replace fire doors ?

In many applications, yes. They are an approved alternative for fire-rated barriers in specific code scenarios, such as elevator hoistways and atrium separation. Always consult with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Question 3: What happens if the power goes out ?

Our systems are designed with "fail-safe" gravity deployment or battery backups, ensuring the curtain descends to the operational position even during a total power failure.
